Mezcal

Mezcal is one of the most expressive spirit categories, shaped by agave variety, village, roasting, fermentation, distillation and producer tradition. It can be smoky, but smoke is only one part of the story. Good mezcal can also be earthy, floral, savoury, citrusy, spicy and deeply textural.

What makes the category compelling

This page suits drinkers who want more edge, more place and more variation than a broad prestige spirits shelf usually offers. Mezcal often rewards slower tasting and closer comparison between producers or agave types.
